Vi. Itin et al., EFFECT OF MECHANICAL ACTIVATION ON THE REGULARITIES OF SELF-PROPAGATING HIGH-TEMPERATURE SYNTHESIS IN THE TITANIUM-NICKEL SYSTEM, Combustion, explosion, and shock waves, 33(5), 1998, pp. 553-555
We have found that the initial temperature of self-propagating high-te
mperature synthesis in the titanium-nickel system is decreased after t
reatment in high-energy mixing devices, for example, attritors. This d
ecrease is caused by formation of conglomerates from titanium and nick
el powders firmly bound over the interphase surfaces and powder strain
-hardening. The titanium nickelide-based technology for production of
alloys for medicine and engineering has been optimized.
